welcome back. a remarkable feat to tell you about from china where jumper jeb corliss jumped between these mountains. corliss said it almost didn't happen. >> i didn't realize really what i was getting myself into until i really got here and started jumping out of the helicopter. you look at all of the numbers. you say, okay, yeah, but you don't know what you're facing until you start to fly it. i could see it was an incredible challenge and very difficult to do. i didn't understand how nature could create such a strange -- i mean, such a strange formation on stunt day on the weather. literally, it was horrible weather the entire day. we waern going to get to do it and the stunt was canceled and it was shut down. all of a sudden, somebody says, jeff, you need to jump right now. i stepped out of the helicopter and started flying and the

feeling was so overwhelming, i have never felt such a sense of joy, you know? and for me, it's not about the feelings of, you know, draen adrenaline or any of that. was to push myself as far as i possibly can and, you know, to see what i'm capable of. the angles are at such a way that when you enter this crack, all of a sudden, you have to actually do a side slip, you know, so you're inside and you're actually side slipping as you're falling in, otherwise, you're going impact the wall. my hands came within, you know, feet of contact at over under i'm doing 120 miles an hour when you're jumping out of a helicopter and under you're just wearing a jumpsuit it gives you the sensation of flying. the feeling is so absolutely unbelievable and it's something that, you know, human beings dream about since we have had the ability to dream jumping off cliffs and flying through mountains isn't everyone's dream

but it is mine. i hope that people out there, you know, have the courage to go out there and chase their dream, whatever it is. >> he is completely stable in every way. would you like him to babysit your kids? are you kidding me? what is it about people like that do things like that? ? "early start" continues right now. countdown to shutdown. definitely not a hoe down. the u.s. government just hours from shutting down. congress grid locked as both political parties wait to see who will blink first. a record setting storm slamming the northwest. roads are flooded and trees are all knocked down and thousands are left in the dark. dozens of tourists jumping into the water when their boat suddenly erupts in flames. crazy pictures. really crazy story to tell you about. good morning, everyone. welcome
